Gold show
Sylvie Fleury, Gucci Handcuffs, 2001-02
Emil Orlik, Japanese Garden, 1902-02
Around 200 works mainly from the 20th and 21st centuries will demonstrate the place that gold has taken in art. The exhibition begins with a portrait of a mummy from the second century BC. Pictures by Giandomenico Tiepolo and William Blake document the first use of gold in modern painting.
In contemporary art, the use of gold is not restricted to any limits regarding content form or style. Abstract, surrealistic and realistic works are presented as well as paintings, sculptures, reliefs and objects. Works by Bruno Gironcolli, Erwin Wurm, Yves Klein, Sylvie Fleury, Richard Hamilton, Emil Orlik, Franz West, Jan Fabre, Georg Baselitz and Gerhard Richter illustrate the variety of ways in which gold has been used.
